It's shit beer. But my kind of shit beer. They call call them American Adjunct lagers
Adjunct is just another word for shit. lol. It's just means they throw anything in their to make it cheaper to produce. Budweiser is the king of this crap by using rice.
Here's some beer knowledge from people who actually know what they're talking about as opposed to me who just likes to drink it...
American Adjunct lager is the best selling style of beer in the nation, and encompasses all of the giant brands: Budweiser, Miller, Coors, Pabst, etc. There are three general categories that American-style lagers fall into: Light lagers, standard lagers, and premium lagers. All of these have a significant amount of adjuncts in them, generally rice, corn or maize, and are all descended from the pre-prohibition American lager, though they may not taste much like beers from that era. The short history goes thusly: The pilsner was the ubiquitous international style by the late 1700s, but in pre-prohibition America, six-row barley was much more available and much cheaper than two-row barley, largely because six-row was produced in the U.S., while two-row had to be imported. Six-row barley, though, produced a much more husky, grainy character than its cousin from across the pond, and therefore made the brewing of the light, refreshing pilsner difficult. The solution? Like so many other countries throughout history, Americans worked with what was available, and used rice, corn or maize to lighten and soften the characteristics of the beer. Even so, pre-prohibition lagers were often significantly more flavorful than today's light lagers, as today's beers have undergone decades of refinement in order to maximize the broadest of appeal, and focus entirely on refreshment and drinkability rather than on bold flavor characteristics.

We call it lawnmower beer, because when you're out mowing the lawn and it's hot, you'll drink anything. Even American shit beer. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

Hmmm... for a cheap beer this is actually pretty good! Better than the Hamm's that's for sure although I didn't do a head to head or anything. But should start doing that. Maybe next post. God knows I'll only be drinking cheap beer for spell. Anyways, definitely better than it's American cousins. Definitely has a more robust, malty taste. And definitely NOT comparable to drinking water. All & all I'm pretty impressed considering what it is.

2. Hamm's (4.6% ABV)
disclaimer: I have never met a beer I do not like.
Labatt Blue is the best-selling Canadian beer in the world. Introduced in 1951 as Labatt Pilsener, it was named for the colour of its label by fans of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers football team. Blue was the first brand in Canada with a twist-off cap and won the silver medal in the International Lager category at the 1998 Brewing Industry International Awards. Labatt Blue, brewed using specially selected aromatic hops, is a well-balanced, fully matured, full-flavoured beer with a fruity character and a slightly sweet aftertaste. - Beer Advocaate

Hanging out at my campfire in my backyard. The kids just left with their Mom. We roasted hotdogs and then made s'mores. Lots of fun.
Now in the aftermath, in the stillness of just the crickets and the crackling of the fire, I'm drinking yet another shit beer. this time Pacifico. I definitely like it less than the labatt's. It has a chalkiness to it that i didn't expect. It does not boast that drinkability of its Mexican cousins which with time may be cool. I just wasn't expecting that. It definitely has a robust, malty aftertaste that really stands out. Not in a great way, but not bad either. . I think I enjoyed the Hamm's more but that likely has a lot to do with low expectations and familiarity. I'm in the Midwest after all where Hamm's is the shit can that most dive bars sell for just a buck. Can't beat that. Again I'll do heads to heads soon because .... why not? lol.

Cerveza Pacífico Clara, better known as Pacífico, is a Mexican pilsner-style beer. Cerveza Pacífico is named so because the Pacífico brewery is located in the Pacific Ocean port city of Mazatlán, in the state of Sinaloa, México.
It was first brewed in 1900 when three Germans opened a brewery, the Cerveceria del Pacífico, in Mazatlán. Its label includes a picture depicting a lifesaver encompassing a hill with the port's lighthouse hill, known locally as "Cerro del Crestón."The Pacífico brewery was bought by Mexican brewing giant Grupo Modelo in 1954. The Belgian-Brazilian Anheuser-Busch InBev company currently owns a 50% stake of Grupo Modelo. -Wkipedia
